Yao Yang, a well-known economist, proposed that the retirement age for women should be extended from 55 to 60, a proposal that has sparked widespread discussion.
Yao expert pointed out that it is not appropriate for women to retire at the age of 50, 50 years old is still very young, and the life expectancy of women in first-tier cities is about 90 years old, which means that square dancing will take 40 years, which is a joke.
Not only do women enter the workforce, but they also have more family responsibilities. With the improvement of modern medical conditions and the improvement of living standards, the average life expectancy has indeed increased. However, the age of 55 is still an age for many women with significant physical and psychological changes, such as the symptoms of menopause and age-related chronic diseases. Yao's proposal seems to ignore these realities, and extending the retirement age for women actually adds to their double burden.
Yao Yang's proposal met with opposition on the Internet, and many netizens expressed their dissatisfaction with sharp words. See what netizens have to say?
I can't find a job at the age of 50, can Mr. Expert help me find a job? Mom has to go to work, mother-in-law has to go to work? Who brings the child?
Women are already very hard, giving birth, working all day, and having to take care of the family when they go home.
People over 50 years old choose whether to retire or not according to their own circumstances, and do not apply a one-size-fits-all approach.
Some netizens jokingly said: "Professor Yao may hope that women will become superheroes at work and at home." The experiment started at his house, where his mother, wife, and daughter all went to work, and he went home to do housework.
These comments, while strongly emotional, also reveal the general public's concern and dissatisfaction with the proposal.
Regardless of how this system is ultimately implemented, it will be equally able to take into account the wishes of the majority, and we should pay more attention not only to macroeconomic and demographic changes, but also to individual differences and actual needs. They can better serve the society and reflect their own life values. It is all the more necessary to protect their respective rights and interests.
